Notes
'Margit' sweet cherry (Prunus avium 'Margit') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. Early to late spring flowers draw butterflies and bees. Plant a second cherry nearby, because 'Margit' is not self-fertile. You can pick the fruit for eating fresh.
Pairs well with Strawberry Sundae panicle hydrangea, Thalia daffodil, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Sensitive fern.
